NATIONAL TIOKET.

Oen. ULYSSES S. GRANT,
OF THE UNITED STATES.
Vice President:
SCHUYLER COLFAX.
OF INDIANA.
TUE VOTE OA' PEN*SVILVANIII.
We have official I:eturns of every county in
the State, in some cases only the official ma
jorities being given, but in the larger number
the whole vote for each candidate for Auditor-
General. They foot up fit' follows
For Hartranft, Republican
For Boyle, Democrat
Bartranft's majority 10,099
In our table the Republican majority in
Bradford county is put at 3,863. The New
York. Tribune puts it at 3,683. Until it is
ascertained which is correct, it is impossible
to say whether the majority in the State will
exceed or fall short of ten thousand. Our
majority on Surveyor-General will fall short
several hundred of that on Auditor-General.
The total vote in the State will be in the
neighborhood of 640,000. The total votes in
the• three most important elections preceding
this were as follows: In 1864, 572,707; in
1866, 597,370; in 1867, 534,570.
NATURALIZATION.
The defeat of the Republican ticket in
Philadelphia, this fall, may be turned to good
account. It was accomplished chiefly by the
indiscriminate and wholesale issue of natural
ization papers, without any of the checks and
restraints upon the business that were con
templated.-when the laws upon the subject
were passed. Thousands of foreigners were
made.citizens this fall, under the simple form
of taking a drink, appearing before somebody
who might have been a Judge, or a clerk of
a Court, or a tipataff, or a loafer, and pocket
ing a paper under which there was a claim to
vote when it was presented at the polls.
.Congress, at its next session, must reform
all this. If partisan judges and faithless pro
thonotaries excuse themselves for base prac
tices by saying that they are old practices,
possible under the laws and sanctioned by
custom, the laws must be changed. The citi
zenship which the United States Government
offers is not such .a cheap commodity as to be
scattered in largease, to be picked up by a
mob who cannot appreciate it. It is not to be
denied to men who comprehend its value and
a e prepared to wait some time and to under
go some trouble to obtain it. Those who are
born to it, and whose fathers have possessed
it, have a truer estimate of the value of their
rights and privileges than can be obtained by
nine-tenths of the men who are put through
the naturalization of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court, under the high pressure of
partisan hacks on the eve of an election.
_sorb men generally have not had the time,
even when they are men of intelligence, to
understand that citizenship in the United
States is a dignity, and that the creation of it
should be accompanied with a certain delib
oration and a certain solemnity.
In Pennsylvania, and in most of the States,
naturalization may be, and generally is, a
vulgar scramble, in which the lowest kind of
partisans manipulate the ignorant, thought
less and docile material that is gathered to
their hands in the heat of an election cam.
petit. This is known to be the case by the
confessions of the Judges and Prothonotary
of the Supreme Court, who have defended the
late frauds, and who Show that the customs
under which they have acted are not literally
proldbite.d by the laws. This being the case,
the defective laws must be reformed. The
United States Courts ought to have the ex
clusive-right of naturalizing foreigners. There
can be no objection to this, except that the
United States Coutts-sit only in a few places-
But in that consists the safety of the plan.
Men who appreciate the value of citizenship
would not grudge a journey of a few hours to
obtain it. Besides, at least three. fourths of
the foreigners sincerely desiring citizenship,
arid estimating its privileges and honors as
something higher than the mere ballot, are
to be found in the large cities where the
United States Courts hold their sessions.
IT, however, it should be thought that con
fining the business, of naturalization to the
"United States Cooks was unfair or impracti
cable, a Commissioner might be appointed for
each Congressional district, responsible to the
Court of. Lis Judicial District, who would
have authority to issue the proper papers
upon due evidence and strict adherence to the
various requirements of the laws. The fees
now paid to the State Courts would be ample
compensation for the services of such Com
missiofiers, and there would be no difficulty in
finding men flt and willing to perform the
duties. Anything will be better than the
present system, and we trust that the Penn
sylvania delegation in Congress, who have
had the evils of the present system brought
home to them so forcibly, will demand and
insist on a thoroueh revision of the naturali
zation laws. We ask for no Know-nothing
ism; no denial of the rights which have made
American citizenship the hope of the op
pressed in all parts of the world. But we do
ask to have that ci izenship restored to its
proper dignity, so that it may be rated at a
higher price than that now charsed for it in
political pot-honses.
THE POPE aNR PRO CESTANT
BistaßPS.
The Pope has addressed an Encyclical letter
to the Bishops of the Church of England, and!
other denominations, asking them to attend;
the great (Ecumenical Council of December,
1860, to discuss amicably the differences
which exist between the various sects, and to
endeavor to come into accord. The idea is
conceived in a truly Christian spirit, and
would be worthy of all praise if the convoca
tion of the prelates promised any satisfactory
results. It certainly does not, and the scheme
may be looked upon as entirely useless and
worthy of reprobation. The peculiar tenets
which give to each of the grand divisions of
the Christian Church its distinctive , character,
are entirely opposed to each other. In
some particulars Protestantism and Roman
Catholicism are as widely separated as Mo
hammedism and Bhuddism, and the mem
bers of both consider their creed pure reli
gion, and all otherti delusions and snares.
There is not the slightest hope of compro
mise and fusion, while the church is militant,
and there are Christians who think such an
event very unlikely, when it is triumphant.
The attitude of the Pope himself proves this.
He does not ask these Protestant prelates to
assemble becausete is willing to enter into
any cbmpromise. — He does not propose to
meet them half way. He dare not entertain
any such idea. His view of the situation
places him, entirely upon the right side and
them altogether in the wrong, and he intends
to appeal to them to become proselytes.
But the Protestants abhor the Pope's doc-
trines as much as he does theirs, - and they
will join bands with him only when he ab
jures his faith and brings his whole church
over to Protestantism. Pius IX, we fear, is
hardly prepared to accept the terms, and the
bishops will find Rome such a poor mis
sionary field, that their traveling expenses
will have to be put down to profit and loss.
Indeed we think the Pope's invitation had
better not be accepted. If he finds his guests
to be perverse, and obstinately determined to
cling to their heresy, he may lose his temper,
and fulminate his wrath upon their heads in
the shape of bulls, excommunications, and
other violent and dangerous pontifical docu
ments. The Bishops will retaliate, and the
world will be shocked by the spectacle of the
preachers of the gospel of peace, clutching
at each others' throats, with wrath and fury
in their hearts. Each division of the church
bad better go its own way, and devote its at
tention to the conversion of sinners after its
own fashion. Wickedness is the best thing
to fight, and there will never be any need to
complain of the scarcity of the article.
TILE PROMS r rim PEOPLE
We anticipate a great outpouring of the
people at Concert Hall to-night. The meet
ing has special reference to the infamous
Frauds by which the Republican ma
j.,rity of Philadelphia was nullified, and the
city given over to the domination of an im
p,,rted mob. Our people are stirred with a
, enuine indignation at the insult that the
Demczratic managers have put upon them,
a,d they will resent it by every
proper and lawful method. They will
not threaten mob-violence, with the
Aye, or assassination, with General
Blair; but they will maintain the sacred
rights of American citizenship, which have
been trampled in the dust, by every means
which the laws supply. And if the laws are
not broad enough and stringent enough to
protect the people in the exercise of a free
ballot, they will amend those laws and see
that they are enforced.
The Republican institutions of America
are still on trial. They have undergone the
terrible test of a bloody rebellion and have
survived it. But they are now submitted to
another trial scarcely less critical. Can
a free y eople govern themselves?
This great question is being proved in every
possible way. The Democracy struck a heavy
blow at it on Tuesday last, when they made
the desperate effort to wrest the ballot from
the lawful voters of Philadelphia and transfer
it to a mob of their own organizing. But a
free, intelligent people will pass triumphantly
through this crisis also. They recognize its
i mportance, its - profound gravity. New York
is before them as a beacon to warn them from
the dangers that threaten them, and the out
rageous excesses of the Democracy at the late
election have aroused the suspicions and the
fears of the most credulous.
The meeting to-night is in the interest of
Law, Decency and Older. It is a protest
against Fraud, Violence and Mob-Law.. The
people are not convened to hear great ora
tors, or to be entertained by rhetorical dis
plays. They are summoned to bear solemn
testimony against a system which has been
deliberately introduced into this community
by the Democratic leaders, and which is sus
tained by the Democratic party. They
are called upon to arrest, at the
very outset, the inauguration of a state of
affairs in Philadelphia, which threatens not
only the political liberties oferican citi
zens, but the very lives and pr perty of our
people. Let our people come t gather, feel
ing the solemn responsibility of the occasion,
and, taking counsel together, resolve. that
this shall•be, as it has been, "a government
of the people, by the people and for the peo
ple," in all time to come.
Cannot some clever Philadelphia lawyer
contrive a legal method to give the pub
lic a list of Sheriff Lyle's deputies at the late
election ? What is wanted is the name, resi
dence and real business of each ; also the
name of the magistrate who swore them in,
and the method in which the oath was ad
ministered. So far their names have come
before the public only through the police
records. About-fifty or them have been ar
rested, charged with various crimes, ranging
from murder down through intermediate

grades to breachea of the peace and rioting.
This is a pretty large sample. of the whole,
but it would be not only very interesting but
very valuable, both to the police and to the
public, to have the complete invoice pub
lished. We have• a Rogues' Gallery at the
Central Station. Let us have a Deputy-
Sheriff's Catalogue to add to the collection.
The Naticmal Intelligencer of this morn
ing says that General Blair's "manly speech
at St. Louis excites general admiration." In
this "manly speech," Blair said :
"The Democracy would yet win. They had
everything, at stake in this stniggle. and if they
failed the republic would fall with them.. A mil-
Lary dictatorship would be established, and Grant
would never leave the Presidential mansion alive."
Will some one explain the "manliness" of
this murdercue threat?,lt is no satisfactory
explanation that General Blair may have been
intoxicated when he made , it, for it is just one
of those threats that , prove the , old adage:
"In vino' veritas." ' "
It is not to be wondere:d at that the World
wants Blair to sacrifice, himself to his party
and to , withdraw from the., ticket. He has
not made a single appearance,in public since
his nomination that has ndt benefitted the
Republican party, and this open suggestion
of assassination will add greatly to the gen
eral disgust which his entire conduct during
the campaign has engendered in the public
mind.
Since the year 1862 there has been an in
crease of 9,000 votes in the First Congres
sional District. This increase indicates a
growth of 72,000 in the population of that
part of the city. And yet the First District
consists of the Second, Third, Fourth,.Fitth,
Sixth and Eleventh Wards, in most of which
population is either receding before business
improvements or barely holding its own.
In the other portions of Philadelphia, with all
their rapid extension and increase of popula
tion, there is no such growth as this which is
exhibited in this single Democratic district.
There is no doubt whatever that this in
crease of 9,000 votes in six years in Mr. Ran
dall's district is largely fraudulent. Among
the "experiences gained in the school of ad
versity" none have been so important to the
Democracy as the advances which they have
made in the noble art of manufacturing dotes.
When the census comes to be taken in 1870,
Mr. Randall and Mr. Wallace will have hard
work to account for this extraordinary in
crease of vote where there is no corresponding
increase of population.
An "Earthquake Fund," for the relief of
the sufferers by the recent calamity in South
America, has been started in New York,
which already has reached a handsome sum.
A gentleman of this city has sent to this
office one hundred dollars as the nucleus of
a similar fund in Philadelphia, and persons
desirous of adding to it may send to us their
contributions, which will be remitted to the
New York committee.
Mr. John M. Butler, a well-known citizen of
Philadelphia, died at his residence in West Spruce
street this morning, after a lingering illness. Mr.
Butler was a native of Philadelphia and was long
and favorably known as a printer and publisher of
steel and copper-plate engravings. Since 1862,he
has been the senior partner of the house of But
ler & Carpenter, which has supplied the govern
ment with the Revenue stamps, and is now con
testing the award for the new contract for the
post office stamps.
Mr. Butler was an earnest and active member
of the Republican party, from the date of its or
ganization. In 186(1 he was the Republican can
didate for Congress in the First District, and was
elected by a small majority over Mr. Lehman, who,
however, suecessfuly contested the seat. In 1861,
he was again nominated for the same otlice,
against Mr. Randall. the present Congressman
In 1865, he was appointed ono of the Directors .
of Girard College, and, so far as his
failing health permitted. prey , d an
u prigh t and valuable member of the
Board. He was about 39 years of age
at the time of his death, which will be sincerely
mourned by a very large circle of friends and ac
quaintances. He was a man of E trict integrity,
earnest in all his convictions of duty and out
spoken in their expression; an excellent man of bu
siness, and honorable and worthy iu all the rela
tions of life. He belonged to the class of our
citizens whom we can least afford to lose.

1. They are a first mortgage upon the longest and most
important railroad in the country.
2. By law they ran bo issued to the Company only as
the road is completed, so that they always represent a
real value. . '
. 9. Their amount is limited by akt of Congroee to Fifty
Million Debarks ontho entire "'acid° line, or an average of
(ere than i 590.000 per mile.
4. Hon. E. D. Morgan, of the United States Senate, and

eentatives. are the trustees for tho bondhold,re, to see
that all their interests are protected.
6. Five Government- Diredtors, appointed by the Presi
dent of the United States, are responalble to the country
for the management of its affairs.
6 Three United States Commis:downs must certify that
the road is well built and equipped, and in all respects a
firetclass railway, before any bonds can be issued upon it.
7. The United States Government lends the Company
its own bonds to the sums amount that the company is.
sues, for which it takes a second mortgage as security.
8. As ILdditional aid, It makes au absolute donation of
12.800 aerea of land to the mile, lying upon each side of
the road.
9. The bonds pay six per cent. in gold, and-the principal
is also payable in gold.
10. The earnings from tho local or way business were
Over Foun MILLION DOL Lana last year, which, after pay
ing opeeating expenses, was much more than sufficient to
pay the interest. These earnings will be vasUy increased
on the completion of the entire line in 18&).
12. No political action can reduce the rate of interest.
It must remain for thirty years—six per cant. per annum
in odd, now equal to between eight and nine per cent. in
currency. The principal to Chen payable in cold. If a
bond, with each guarantees, were Limed by the Govern
ment, its market price would not be lees than from 20 to
22 per cent. premium. Aa these bonds are issued under
Government authority and supervision, upon what to
very largely a Government work, they must ultimately
approach Government prices. No other corporate bonds
are made so secure.
13. The issue will soon bo exhausted. The.. sales have
sometimes been half a million a day, and nearly twenty
millions hate already been sold. a boat ten millions more
may be offered. It is not improbable that at some time
not far distant, all the remainder of the bonds the Com
pany can issue will be token by some combination of
capitalists and withdrawn from the market, except at a
large advance. The long time, the high gold interest, and
the perfect eecurity,must make these bonds very valuable
for export.
All the predictions which the officers of this Company
have made In relation to the progress and business su =ere
of their enterprise, or the value and advance In the price
of their securities, have been more than confirmed, and
they therefore ruggest that parties who desire to Invest in
their bonds will rind 11 to their advantaoe to do soot once.
The price for the present is 102. and accrued interest at
6 per cent. In currency from July I, 1668.

General Craws Exiled-A New Phase In

Itemodellnif the hpeete To.rllt-Lobos
to be Opened to the Coasting' Trade.
11A vANA, October 19, 1868.—We have Jest re
mired mail advicea from Mexico to the tenth In
stant
General Uraga, who bad been expatriated from
Mexico, has arrived at this port. The reason of
his exile is not yet made public; but it is sup
posed to be for complicity in the late fiasco of
Santa Anna. Minister Romeo. in his report on
the state of Mexican finances, expresses
the hope that the Treasury will' be able
to pay the interest on the national debt,
punctually when peace baa been restored and the
army disbanded. Governor Hernandez y Her
nandez of the State of Vera Cruz, purposes to
resignlsla position, because Colonel Dominguez,
the bead of the late rebellion in his State, has
been pardoned by the federal government. It
will be recollected that Colonels Dominguez and
Briet6 pretended to support the federal authori
ties, but disowned and meant to overthrow the
Steels government, headed by Hernandez. It ap
pears, however, from recent developments, that
both Dominguez and Prieto were accomplices in
the abortive scheme of Santa Anna. A
tariff bill has been reported to Congress which
proposes an export duty on silver of five per
centum, besides one and a half per centam on
gold. No other changes have been made in the
customs rates. It is expected that the port of
Lobes, on the island of the same name, Golf of
California, will be opened by Congress to the
general coasting trade. Senor Zamacona has
proposed in Congress a bill granting a
new concession to the Mexico and Vera
Cruz Railway Company, but the direc
tors refuse to accept its terms. The
Mexican Congress have under consideration a
bill to abolish the death penalty in all cases. In
consequence of the revelations of Padilla about
Santa Anna, General Eseobedo has left the capital
for Tampico, and General Cortina for hlata
morus, to take precautionary measures against
Quiroga, Canales, Vergas and all of Santa Anna's
satellites. The revolutionists have defeated a
company of government troops near Zapatlam
pas. Several officers of the former Imperial
army have lately been captured In rebel bands.
Some Mexican soldiers who attempted to rob a
governmtnt otaductu were captured and have
been carried to the capital. Fresh bands of guer
rillas have made their appearance in Guerrero
and were causing much trouble to the inhabi
tants. Gorzilez Ortega has recovered from his
illness. Ile still remains at Saltillo. Mr Ed ward
Perry has been empowered to act as the repre
sentative of the English holders of Mexican
bouds.

Departure of Santa Anna for Rt.
Thomas-His Bight Hand Ilan, Ta
ltuda, Gone to Spain.
HAVANA, Oct. 19, 1868.—Tae determined action
of Captain-General Lersundi for the prevention
of any Cuban filibustering against Mexico has
multed in the departure yesterday of General
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna for his old home
in the island of Bt. Thomas.
His Quartermaster-General, Antonio Taboado,
the right hand man in the late projected raid
from Cuba on Mexico, likewise left here for
Cadiz, Spain.
POLITICAL.
Rebel Hopes,
H. Rives Pollard, in Southern Opiuiou, indulges
in this foolish hope:
"Our only remaining hope is that General U.
B. Grant, like Andrew Johnson—the man most
dreaded by the South before his exaltation to the
Presidency- l -may deceive his friends and disap
point, agreeably, those who are now his political
opponents, and who judge him by the record of
the Radical party whose candidate be is. Were
Grant an educated man—a man possessed of a
vrill_of own like Jahnson_-t-_who e_Quid_mise
himself above faction, and adjust himself to the
necessities of the hour— then our hope would
not be an entirely fallacious one. Bat Grant is
not a statesman, only a soldier, who has an
nounet d that the law of his guidance shall be the
'wilt of the people,' not the principles of the
Constitution, and the enforcement of that law—
n° will of the Radical majority—is reposed in the
sword.
"What political throes may follow the election
of Grant we have not the prescience to foretell;
but we are satisfied that the Northern Democ
racy, having resigned their liberties at the ballot
box, will not attempt the retrieval of their own,
or the liberties of the tionth, by any less pacific
method."
Wade Hampton inciting to Harder.
Wade Hampton indulged in very. violent and
abusive language at a barbe2ue held at Columbus
on the 10th inst. The special object of his black
guardism_wra_agelltleMalL.Whont. ha_ _repeatedly_
called Judge "Hog," and who Is a candidate for

this "hog," why, let them do it, bat I should
think it a bad investment. I have nothing more
to say about 'hog.' He is a candidate for Con
gress, and I hope that all the negroes who
want to be shot will vote for him, and that
nobody else will." This Is rather an ominous
threat, coming so soma after the Camilla butch
ery.
A Jailor stabbed by a Convict.
PLATTSUURO, N. Y., Oct. 19, 1868.-9 d. V.Bates,
the principal keeper of the Clinton Prison, was
severely stabbed in the shoulder by a convict
named Mulligan, who is a desperate character.
Mulligan had been locked in his cell for dome
misconduct, and it became necessary to move
him for some purpose. Mulligan objected, say
lug that he might be shot, but would not go.
This was reported to Mr. Bates, who immediately
entered the cell. Thereupon Mulligan sprang
upon the keeper and stabbed him with a knife
which he .htid concealed in his sleeve. Mulligan
was quickly secured. Mr. Bates's wound is long
and deep.

ACCIDENT ON TUB PENNSYLVANIA
• MAILROAD.
Two Men Illsneill—Terrible Scenes.
The Lancaster Express of yesterday says:
On Saturday evening. about ten' o'clock, a .
frightful and fatal accident occurred on the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad, a short distance this
side of Christiana, Lancaster county. The Cin
cinnati express train West, due in this city at
10.88 Pr M..; while the locomotive was running at;
its usual,wed, jtimped,or was thrown from the;
track, and running up a bank. upset The bag—,
gage and first passenger cars were dragged from;
the track, and ran up the bank on either side the.
locomotive, but were not much damaged. The;
second passenger car was also thrown from the;
track. but the shock to the passengers was vely
slight. The engineer of the loeomotive,,, . Mr.
Irwin of Harrisburg, was so badly scaldatti that:
be died a half hour afterward. The fireman, Mr.
Lewis Bblrts, was immediately crashed to!
death by the locomotive falling upon him. Mr.!
Peter Stine, baggage -master. was severely in
jured about the head and shoulders. None of
the passengers were hurt.' The first passenger;
car struck upon the bank, one endbelng cleva-,
ted about six feet above the other. " There were;
two stoves In this ear, one a t each end, and both'
were glowing with fire at the time. of the acci-,
dent. A scene of the wildest consternation tan-•
mediatelv ensued among the, pasSengertis- and;
they hurriedly made their way out through the;
doors andwindows. The .eati caught:fire frbm;
one of the stoves, but the llamas .were speedily.
subdued—. The escape of, the passengers seems
truly miraculous. The train was eleven hours
late in reaching Mb city.
The C 411380 of the accident has notteen clearly
ascertained. -It , is asserted by some that a switch
at that point bad been misplaced, and by others
that trbolt had been taken out of the connecting ,
rod of. thee switeli. • "It; "seems evident that some
fiend In human form had done the deed.
Additional Particulars:,--From a gentleman re
siding in the near neighborhood of the accident,
who was on the ground immediately atter it oc
curred, we learn a few additional particulars. He
describes it as a fearful scene. When the locomo
tive left the track It tore along for about five rods,
ripping up and carrying with it part of the track,
the ties and even the ballast. This mass of stuff,
when the locomotive struck the bank, threw the
tender up the south bank and the baggage and
passenger car up the opposite bank.
An investigation into the cause of the accident
yesterday, left scarcely any room to doubt that
the bolt of the switch had been intentionally dis
placed. The switch-lock was an its prover place
and had not been disturbed. The engineer, just
before be died, remarked that the switch had
been displaced. The company should make every
effort to bring to justice the miscreant guilty of
so monstrous a crime.
FEMME NEW YORK,.
Naw YORK, Oct. 20.—The race for the cham
pion pennant of the Atlantic Yacht Club took
place yesterday, the course being from a stake
boat in Gowanus Bay to the Southwest Spit and
return. The only contestants were the schooners
Lois and Mystic, who had raced for it before on
the 6th mat. The race was sharply contested,
but the Lois was declared the winner.
A meeting of the Episcopal Evangelical Society
was held last evening at Calvary Church. corner
of Twenty•llrat street and Fourth avenue. Re
marks appertaining to the purposes and progress
of the society were made by Bishops Neely, of
Maine, Eastburn
_of Massachusetts, Whipple, of
Minnesota. Rev. Mr. Cummings, Assistant Bishop
of Kentucky, and Rev. Mr. Fox, of England.
The General Committee of the Indian Commis
sion assembled at Cooper Institute yesterday,
and beard the report of Bishop Whipple on the
moral and temporal condition of the Indians on
the Western frontier. Several gentlemen ad
dressed the meeting, among them Dr. Bellows,
Bishop Kemper and Mr. Peter Cooper.
Three police officers arrested one John Mas
terson on Atlantic street, Brooklyn, on Sunday,
for disorderly conduct, and while conveying him
to the station were assaulted by a mob of 200
men and women with bricks, stones and other
missiles. Two of the officers were severely in
jured, but held on to their prisoner, and an acci
dental discharge of one of their revolvers caused
the crowd to scatter, leaving Daniel Conlon, said
to be one of the ringleaders, in the hands of the
po lee.

Margaret McKenna vs. Bernard Duffy. An ac
tion to recover for services as a domestic in the
family of defendant. The plaintiff is the sister
in-law of defendant, and she claims for services
as nurse to defendant's wife and as general do

The contract was made in 1861, and the plaintiff
manufactured one thousand, but alleges that he
did not receive pay in fail.
The defence set up that plaintiff failed to ob
tain the requisite machinery for polishing the
scabbards, and he was compelled to send them to
deft ndant's shop to be finished. and the charge
made by defendant for this work was a full offset
for plaintiff's claim in this suit. On trial.

PrIILADELPHIA, Tuesday, October 20.—There
is more demand for money, and some hardening
in the rates, as 6 per cent. is now generally de
manded for "call loans" on government collater
als, with exceptional negotiations below this
figure. The offerings of mercantile paper con
tinue as light as ever, and the limited amount of
first-class obligations presented at the banks
are taken at 6 per cent.; on the street the rates
are from 7 to 10 per cent.
In trade circles the movements continue very
moderute;with, however, no very violent fluctua
tions in prices. Commercial values are naturally
affected by the decline in gold and exchange, and
for foreign fabrics prices rule rather irregularly,
bat holders are very telnctant to grant conces
sions and this tends to contribute to the dormant
condition of business. The most favorable
feature of the times is the steadily-increasing'
demand for Goverament loans, and continued
appreciation in their value, notwithstanding the
decline in the precious metal. The drain of cur
rency to the West is far below general anticipa
tion, but the remittances to the. South, on ac
count of the cotton crop, are steadily increasing.
There was less activity in the Stock Market to

[From the N. Y. Herald of today.l
Ocr. 19.—The gold market has been active to
day, but without very decided speculative features,
and the fluctuations were from 136% to 137%,
with the closing transactions prior to the ad
journment of the board at three o'clock at %
137%,
following which sales were made at 137, and
the latest quotation on the street was 137'),1@
7-16. There was a brisk borrowing demand for
coin, and loans were made at 3i, 5.16, 3-16, 9-32,
7-32, 5-35, 3-82, %, 1-16, 1-32, and
1-64 per cent. per dem. for borrowing,
and afterwards "flat." The gross clearings
amounted to $151,457,000; the gold balances to
$3,033.005, and the currency balances to $4,-
596.593. The Sub-Treasury disbursed $7,772 in
coin in payment of Interest on the public debt
during the day, and the bids for the $300,000 of
coin sold aggregated less than on any previous
occasion, namely, $1,850,000, of which WO 000
was awarded to Ward A: Co., at 137 26100, and
$150,000 to Corning & Johnson, at the same
price. The imports of specie at the port from
foreign ports last week amounted to $76,098,
making a total of $6,181,768 since the first of
January. The tendency of the premium is
downward, under the improved aspect of politi
cal affairs, but the bears daily encounter an ob
stacle to their opeyations in the high rates which
they have to pay for the use of coin. As soon as
the disbursement of the November interest on
the public debt is begun, however, if not before,
the floating supply of gold will be in excess of
the borrowing demand, which will continue
large so long as we have a bare market, and the
indications are that in the meantime a farther
decline will take place.
The market for goverment securities opened
very strong and active, and prices at the first call
were about 31 per cent. higher than at the close
on Saturday. After this the investment. as well
as the speculative demand, quickened and at the
noon call there was a further advance of Na*:
per cent., but at these prices there were specula
tive sales to realize, under which a
reaction of
. 1 4 Sc sper cent. took place.
and at the quarter past two
call there were further sales to realize and efforts
were. made by the bears to promote a decline, bat
without material success. Subsequently there
was a demand fcr all the issues, and especially
the five-twentiesrof 1867, and prices experienced
a fractional recovery in some instances. The in
dications are that the present activity in our na
tional securities is but the commencement of a
steady upward movement in them growing out of
im'provcd investment demand based upon in
creased confidence in the public credit. The
reaction experienced this afternoon was quite
natural after the recent rapid advance, and it has
strengthened the market for a fresh upward turn.
It is gratiteing to find that five-twentiea in the
foreigremarliets respond quickly to the advance
in quotations on this side, and that the invest
ment demand for them in Germany has quickened
since the re suit of the recent elections was tele
graphed. The five-twenties of 1867 are the most
actively in demand, both for investment and on
speculative account, and there is also a brisk bor
rowing demand for them.
Money was in abundant supply during the fore
noon at six per cent; but afterwards the demand
quickened and at the close it was active at seven,
and reports were circulated to the effect that a
combination of bears was about to renew its
efforts to produce artificial stringency.
I.From the N. Y. World; of to day.)
Ocr. 19.—The money market was reported
more active In some quarters to-day, but the
supply on call is abundant at 5 to 6 per cent. to
the Government bond dealers, and 6 to 7 per
cent. in the general market.
The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank to
day were as follows:
Id balances $3.033,005 27
Currency balances 4,396,593 20
Gross clearances 151,457,000 00
The G9venament bond market continues very
active and strong. Some 'leading stock opera
tors availed themselves of the high price of rail
way shares in the morning to sell and realize,
- and have-commenced-buying Government--bonds
to hold for the large advance which is expected
after the Presidential contest is decided. The
leading. dealers report the largest business
at private sale since June, and the re
ceipt of more numerous orders from the country.
The domestic donfigt4is running chiefly on the
new bonds. 18675, which were dealt in lamely to
day at 111% to 112, and closed strong at 111, 5 <, to
111%. Present prices are much lower than those
of June last,wben the 1867 e were selling at 114-,,"
to 11431, and the margin for a rise is therefore
consiacrable, as the future, after the Presidential
contest, is calcnated to give more confidence to
capitalists than prevailed In June with the po
litical uncertainties and discussions which dis
turbed the public mind at that period.

:LITE HAMILTON 1141100TM° CASE—CORONERS
INquEsT.—This morning Coroner Daniels held
an inquest on the body of Washington 'Handl
ton, who was shot oh election tlay at Third and
Christian streets.
Dr. Andrew Nebinger testified—l saw Washington Ham
ilton on the night of the day of the election; I went to see
haul in a conveyance; s. was not the attending physician;
he was then suffering with 'a difficulty of breathing; he
complained also of an inability to swallow, and alse• com
lathed of a pain in his hand and wrist, and a'numbness
in the thumb • on examining his neck I found an i
opening as f a ball bad passed in at that
place ; I made an effort to find the tl , ll. but did not sue.
coed; during that effort toe congestion of the neck was
relieved. whereupon his breathing Improved: ho also
swallowed wore esAily; I prescribed for him and did not
see him again until the following morning between 10 and
11 o'clock ; the difficulty of breathing and of swallowing
contth ; the pain in the hand, wrist and forearm was
more aggravated than on thepreceding night• . Dr. Pan.
coast had been sent for anterior to the time when I was
sent for; I met Dr. Pancokst in council at two o'clock
on the 14th; after examining the patient, Dr. Pancoast
and I. giving the wound as thorough an exploration as
the ens demanded, we concluded that it wsuld not be
proper to make any dissection in search - of the ball; in
consequence of the symptoms, especially the pain in the
finger., hand, wrist and forearm, and numbness of the
thun b. we concluded that the ball was resting against
the vertebra of the neck.
On the third day syznptotne of delirium trememt made
their appearance. These symptoms were promptly met,
but not. ithitanding the - - became more and more aggra
vated day by day until death resulted. Thore was cer
tainly more than one cause to produce death, and in my
opinion death was caused by a gunshot wound and delir
ium trerr ens. This opinion is based upon these facts: the
shock incident to the wound and the hemorrhage and the
pain consequent upon o wound were exciting causes of
the attack of delirium tremens.
Pr. W. H. Pancoast, residing at No. 1100 Walnut street,
was examined and corroborated the testimony of Dr.
Nebinger. He was of the opinion that had Hamilton
recovered from delirium troilism], the position of the ball
was so critical that the chances of his recovery were
against
fil
